Bizkit, Blink 182 Look Back With Retrospectives
Rock radio mainstays Limp Bizkit and Blink 182 will look back on their careers with upcoming Geffen “best of” retrospectives, each of which will be issued in tandem with a separate DVD of music videos. Bizkit’s “Greatest Hits” is due Nov. 8 and features three previously unreleased songs, while a similarly titled Blink 182 album will arrive a week earlier.
In addition to hits like “Nookie,” “Rollin’,” “Break Stuff” and “N 2 Gether Now,” the Bizkit collection includes the unheard tracks “Lean on Me” and “Why,” plus an as-yet-untitled “mash-up” of Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” and the Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony.”
No tracks are featured from Bizkit’s recent EP, “The Unquestionable Truth,” which failed to make much of a dent on the Billboard charts. The seven-song release debuted at No. 24 on The Billboard 200 and fell of the chart after just four weeks. It has sold 83,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
As for Blink 182, its “Greatest Hits” sports two bonus items: “Not Now” (an outtake from its 2003 self-titled album) and “Another Girl Another Planet,” which serves as the theme to the MTV reality show “Meet the Barkers,” starring Blink drummer Travis Barker.
The pop/punk trio announced in February that it was going on an “indefinite hiatus” and has yet to reveal any plans to begin working together again.
